Kexx2

Kexx2 is an open source (GPLv3) top down scrolling shoot 'em up game,
similar to Raptor and Tyrian.

About

Kexx2 is a game originally written around 2000-2002, primarily for
Linux (but also Windows). After being inactive for over a decade, I've

crusty code with shiny new Boost and C++11/14 code. The classes
wrapping SDL has been extracted out to a separate library, SDLc ("SDL Classes"),
also available on Github.
